[17:34] <xthatrox> i just did an upgrade from breezy to hardy (yes, i know i know) and actually succeeded... except for one thing... the new SCSI system for naming drives has a problem. sdb1 is not mounted or busy, yet it cannot be mounted... giving an error saying that it is possibly busy. I belive that I may just need to reconfigure the scsi device-mapper... does anyone know how to do that?
[17:40] <xthatrox> it thinks the drive is already mounted
[19:57] <CIA-1> cdrom-detect: cjwatson * r422 ubuntu/debian/ (63 files in 2 dirs): merge from Debian 1.27
[20:06] <CIA-1> cdrom-detect: cjwatson * r423 ubuntu/debian/ (cdrom-detect.templates changelog):
[20:06] <CIA-1> cdrom-detect: * Set cdrom/suite default to intrepid.
[20:06] <CIA-1> cdrom-detect: * Drop edgy from cdrom/suite Choices, since it's now unsupported.
[20:08] <evand> hrm, du -cb /rofs; du -cb /target should be the same (for copy_all), right?
[20:09] <evand> err -sb
[20:09] <evand> yeah, I'm probably missing something obvious.

[21:07] <tmmoyer> Is there documentation anywhere (other than the debian-installer wiki) on how to build a custom kernel for the installer? I need to add some functionality for a project I am working on, and the only documentation I have seen for building custom installer kernels is on the debian-installer wiki and is not very helpful
[22:04] <cjwatson> tmmoyer: (I have to go to bed in a moment, but) the relevant difference between Debian and Ubuntu kernels is that we consolidate the kernel-udeb-building steps into the regular linux source package; start out with the Ubuntu source package, modify it as needed, and build that in the usual way you'd build any Debian package, and udebs will be among the output
[22:04] <cjwatson> s
[22:04] <cjwatson> then the rest of the process is essentially the same as for Debian, provided that you work with Ubuntu source packages at each step rather than Debian
[22:36] <tmmoyer> okay thanks
